(Photos by Kaleb Kelley) It’s the 22nd Annual Cruisin’ The Coast event, and the entire week has been full of fun and excitement, and we’ve still got all of the weekend left to go! This event is HUGE and covers nearly 30 miles of the Gulf Coast. It started in 1996 and has cars from all over the east coast and mid west. We’re talking more than 7,500 cars that were preregistered alone. That means that you can expect nearly 10,000 cars, trucks, street machines, hot rods, and customs to be cruising the boulevard and filling every parking lot and sub event in nearly a dozen coastal towns.

Thankfully, Kaleb Kelley has been running around the Gulf Coast all week and has been snapping a few photos to share with all of us. I think he’s having more fun than he can stand quite frankly, but we appreciate the photos he’s taken and sent in for us to post. We’ll have more to post tomorrow as well, so make sure you check back in tomorrow for gallery #2.
